Summary

Wines Elementary School is a highly regarded K-5 public school in Ann Arbor, MI, serving 465 students as part of the top-rated Ann Arbor Public Schools district.

Wines is an academic powerhouse, consistently earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the top 4% of all Michigan elementary schools over the past decade. For the 2025-2026 school year, it ranks 43rd in the state (97th percentile), placing it above several nearby schools like Dicken Elementary School (168th) and Haisley Elementary School (312th), though it is outperformed by two close neighbors: Angell School (5th) and Bach Elementary School (14th). What truly sets Wines apart is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.6%—far better than the district average of 35.7% and even beating its highest-achieving peers (Angell at 11.8%, Bach at 15.3%). This signals exceptional family engagement and student attendance. Academically, Wines shows consistent excellence across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 60% to 76% in 2024-2025, demonstrating a well-rounded program without the subject-by-subject variability seen at some neighboring schools.

Wines also tells a story of resilience. After chronic absenteeism spiked to 19.7% in 2022-2023 (a post-pandemic effect), the school successfully reduced it to 8.6% by 2024-2025, showing effective strategies for re-engaging students. The school is also notably efficient with resources, spending $15,163 per student—less than many peers like Abbot School ($39,965) and Dicken ($24,433)—while still achieving better outcomes. One area for improvement is an internal achievement gap for students from low-income backgrounds, who perform at the 78th percentile compared to the school's overall 97th percentile. While Wines faces stiff competition from a few elite neighbors, its combination of outstanding attendance, consistent academics, and efficient spending makes it one of Michigan's premier elementary schools.
